The case was settled after the townships came up with better rules for how political signs may be displayed, Travis said.

In Blooming Grove, candidates must get a permit, but the township may not charge for it. And there are rules about where and how long political signs may be displayed.

The signs may not be posted on government-owned property. That includes state game lands, roads owned by PennDOT, and the ditch between the two, where last week, a lot of signs were noticed, but then removed.

"If I see a sign displayed incorrectly, I snatch it and throw it in the back of my truck," Travis said.

If there are a lot of signs, he contacts the candidate and has them remove the signs.

The most common violation is not getting a permit or putting signs in the wrong place.

"I tell them to fill out the permit and hand them an instruction sheet with the rules," Travis said.

"I run into this every election. The township is not making any money on this. I try not to spend a lot of time on it," Travis said.

In the Delaware Valley School board election, there are five seats and four people running.
